‘Enough is enough’ environmental protest in Valletta

Hundreds have gathered in Valletta this morning to take part in the “Enough is enough” protest on the way the government is riding roughshod on environmental matters.

Nearly 60 non-governmental organisations have joined the main organisers, Graffitti, in a protest sparked after the government continues to ignore pleas to safeguard the environment.

Trees have been uprooted to make way for new roads and the widening of others, a situation that has spiralled out of control in spite of government reassurances that the some of the trees have been re-planted while other new ones will also be replacing the ones that were removed.

Many youths and people from all walks of like are taking part with banners and slogans.
